Nana and Papa's Visit

Well, Nana and Papa were in town the last week and the kids were crushed to see their playmates leave town yesterday! Honestly, Paxton moped about all morning because his personal play assistants were gone! We had a great visit and we enjoyed them being here with us to celebrate the holidays. One day while they were here we went to the Children's Museum downtown. We haven't been in almost a year but Paxton remembered that this was the place where you can paint on the walls! The kids had a great time painting, playing with moon sand, recycled tire (I know it sounds weird but it is so cool and so not messy!), playing with the Alice in Wonderland display, and playing in the water center. Of course Paxton had a little too much fun with the water and Nana and I ended up stripping Paxton down and drying his clothes under the hand dryer near the bathrooms!


Other days, we toured the town, art studios and many local restaurants! Yum! The kids loved getting in bed with Nana and Papa in the morning and at night! Josh and I were out on New Year's Eve and when we got home all 4 had been in the bed sleeping! Needless to say, we have been adjusting back to the "normal" routine, which includes two small children taking naps and going to bed on time and in their own beds. What a bummer we parents are! I am thankful that the kids could have so much fun with their grandparents and be spoiled!

As usual, my picture taking skills were not so great while Nana and Papa were here and I only managed a few pictures. So here they are:Little Cheer Lady!

The water center; That raincoat didn't do a lot of good keeping him dry.

Paxton played in the water center a long time! He loved the fishing pole and net.
